Abstract:
Objective:In order to reduce the incidence of infection and disablement,and increase the efficiency of wound flushing and debriding,a computed irrigating device was designed.
Methods:Canine models wounded with gunshot at the limbs were established. Three methods,including computed irrigating device,rubber ball and bottle-poured,were used to irrigating wound,respectively.General observation and quantitative bacterial analysis were performed immediately after injured and irrigated.
Results:The bacteria counts at the surface of wound irrigated with computed irrigating device are much less than those with rubber ball and bottle-poured(
P<0.01).Moreover ,the wound surface flushing with computed irrigating device has much less debris,fragments or eyewinker in comparison with two other ways.
Conclusion:Computed irrigating device is superior to traditional flushing methods in respect of operation and flushing efficiency. It could be more useful during war.
